Question:

Two cells each of $2V$ and internal resistance $0.1\,\Omega$ are connected in parallel combination. This combination is equivalent to a single cell with emf and internal resistance of

Show Hint

Identical cells in parallel → same emf, resistance halves.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
• In parallel: emf remains same
• Internal resistances combine like parallel resistors

Step 1:
EMF
\[ E = 2V \]

Step 2:
Internal resistance
\[ r = \frac{0.1}{2} = 0.05\,\Omega \] Final Conclusion:
Option (B)
